Besides, it has also instructed that henceforth only zonal chief commissioners would file reports as against the earlier practice where field formations used to send the files.
“It has been decided to call for a comprehensive monthly report as part of the Monthly Technical Report (MTR) being sent by the field formations in matters concerning Legal and Judicial Sections of the board as well as the Directorate of Legal Affairs (DLA),” the Revenue Department said in a circular.
It said the step has been initiated to do away with duplication of reports and curb wastage of time and resources. “It has been noticed that several reports are received by the Judicial and Review section and the Legal section of the Board as well as the DLA in matters relating to litigation. Many of the reports contain similar or identical information and some of them have outlived their utility and are not required any more,” it said in circular.
“It is again reiterated that the Commissioners will not send any MTR to Legal, Judicial/Review cell of CBEC or the DLA. The zonal chief commissioner will send the MTRs containing the compiled annexures...,” it said.
